I have 3 dogs. 2 chihuahuas & a Shar Pei. My chihuahuas are really healthy and never have problems, but they are 10 years old. My Shar Pei has ongoing health issues. Would pet health insurance be worth it? I have no idea what they cover or options.
He needs his claws because he loves to hunt. He’s presently cut off from the living room that contains the sofas, but I want to let him in there eventually..
He’s nearly 10 years old btw, and I really can’t bear the thought of de-clawing him. I’m told it’s incredibly painful.
My ferret is 10 years old. I dont want this heat to kill her. It has been in the 90′s lately. I cant have an air conditioner in my room.
I have a fan. I can’t afford a floor model air conditioner. I can’t put an air conditioner in my room because I have crank out windows so there’s no way to put an air conditioner in them. I can’t leave my door open because I live with my grandparents and they have a dog who hits the cage and barks at my ferret whenever he comes in my room. I cant move her to another room because my grandparents didnt want me having her here in the first place so she needs to stay in my room
In the past couple of years I have visited the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, the National aquarium in Baltimore and another one in NYC (near Brooklyn) . I had also visited the Chicago aquarium about 10 years ago. So far Baltimore tops my chart. How about you?
I’m looking for a Massachusetts type help (I know a woman who can’t afford her pet’s meds and special food and is being forced to find her a new home after 10 years), but any thoughts or suggestions would be great, so I was hoping maybe there is SOME kind of program that can help her keep her cat. She loves her but can’t afford her. Thank you for all responses. Thank you.
i have an adult pom (10 years old) that will obnoxiously bark at the door when someone has knocked or rang the door bell. I heard that shaking a can of pennies does nothing but make the dog afraid of you or startle it. I don’t want that for me and my dog, is there a way for me to make it stop barking at it’s old age its at?
PLEASE HELP! I KNOW THIS IS A LONG ENTRY, BUT I’M DESPERATE. This cat is my pride and joy and I’m so very confused! Any input would be helpful!
My cat has had a wart looking lump on his back for nearly 3 years. I took him to the vet when it first showed up. She put a needle in it and examined the sample and said it was a "grandpa spot" and there was nothing to worry about.
Then about a month ago I noticed it was getting larger in size. When I would touch it, my cat starts biting his leg (i believe this is referred to as a "twitch"?). About 2 weeks later it started bleeding.
I took him to the vet asap (July 4). The vet was very good and clearly knew the medicine well, but couldn’t explain to me what any of it meant in laymans terms/english. She said it was a "Mast Cell tumor" and that it was malignant. She said she couldn’t identify what grade or stage the tumor was in, but she recommended getting it removed (0) and getting an ultrasound (0) to ensure there wasn’t any internal tumors or bleeding.
I called the ultrasound place and they said they thought it was unnecessary. They kind of explained the situation to me in a more understandable way, but I’m really confused! I’ve done some research on the internet, but it all seems to be conflicting. Can any professionals or people who have experienced this problem in their pets help me out?
My cat is 10 years old. I’ve been told he’s a Russian Blue, but I believe he is a Chartreux breed. He also has many calcium deposits on his body (thats what the old vet said they were). They’re hard lumps on his body and the most recent vet said not to worry about it. He has a few other smaller wart/mole like things on his body that slightly resemble how the Mast Cell Tumor looks now. The vet said they could remove these at the time they remove the tumor.
So here are my questions -
1. If the tumor is removed, how long is he likely to live and what will his future quality of life be like?
2. What is the difference between Mast Cell stages (of which I understand there are 4) and grades (of which I understand there are 3).
3. If the tumor is removed, how likely is it to come back?
4. Since more wart/mole like things have been popping up on him, is it worth getting the tumor removed? – please – I’m not trying to be insensitive! I just don’t want to put my poor kitty through a ton of surgeries and spend money I don’t really have if he’s doomed to suffer in the near future from more tumors!
5. How long can I wait to give him the surgery to remove the tumor? Its nearly doubled in size in the past two months. It is now a bit smaller than a dime. It continually bleeds regardless of what I try to do to stop it.
6. Is there any way to make him more comfortable until I can afford the surgery?
7. Does anyone know where I might get some financial assistance paying for these procedures or where I could get good prices/discounts? I’m a recent college graduate and I haven’t found a job yet (despite my active search!). I’m working part time, but I really don’t know how I can come up with all that money!

i am very upset, my cat was only 10 years old and she died of sudden kidney failure. Her most recent diet was set on Iams biscuits. I really don’t know what could have caused this. After looking on some websites, some have said that Iams is not a good food to feed your cat. Has anyone else experienced this?
